Moved the landing back by 55 minutes. Taking one more lap around the moon. Probably checking the math.

Guy looking at a screen at mission control: Is this number suppose to be in meters or feet?

The FAA says SpaceX has asked for permission to launch Starship at least nine times. This year.

Landed and transmitting just the signal is weak. They think it's a comm issue. Recycling the comms

After troubleshooting communications, flight controllers have confirmed Odysseus is upright and starting to send data.
Right now, we are working to downlink the first images from the lunar surface.

@Int_Machines
Lunar Surface Day One Update  (23FEB2024 0818 CST)
Odysseus is alive and well. Flight controllers are communicating and commanding the vehicle to download science data. The lander has good telemetry and solar charging.

We continue to learn more about the vehicle’s specific information (Lat/Lon), overall health, and attitude (orientation). Intuitive Machines CEO Steve Altemus will participate in a press conference later today to discuss this historic moment. Press conference information will be coordinated with NASA and published shortly.

Per this @ERAU_Daytona
 newsletter: the EagleCam system was not deployed during #IM1 #Odysseus’ landing attempt yesterday, but will still be deployed to take photos of the spacecraft on the surface at a later date.

The wait for images continues…

Holy Cow, it woke up!

Japan’s space agency didn’t expect its wrong-side-up SLIM moon lander to revive itself after powering down for a circuit-chilling lunar night on Feb. 1. But that’s exactly what happened.

“Last night, a command was sent to SLIM and a response received, confirming that the spacecraft has made it through the lunar night and maintained communication capabilities!” the SLIM mission team reported today in a posting to X / Twitter.

FAA is done with their flight 2 investigation.
Apparently they're happy with the changes SpX has been making.

And B10 is back at the OLM and appears ready to be lifted.
Assuming S26 won't be far behind.
